Approximately 91% of the global population resides in areas where air quality surpasses the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommended guidelines. According to WHO, approximately 4.2 million deaths occur annually across the world due to air pollution. Among the hazardous pollutants found in urban air, particulate matter, ground-level ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide are considered the most perilous.
The best way to achieve clean urban air is to avoid emissions from the outset. Unfortunately, this is not achievable in the short run because alternative solutions often have yet to be developed and because a complete ban on emissions e.g. from traffic would have negative impacts on the economy and society.
Given the massive negative consequences of air pollution, wait-and-see is not a good strategy.
Technical outdoor air cleaning offers a pragmatic solution and is available now.
The City Air Cleaner filters up to 85 percent of harmful ambient pollutants such as fine dust particles and gaseous substances like nitrogen oxides, and ground-level ozone from the ambient air and creates a comfort breathing zone with better air quality.
The casing design can be executed to match customer's needs:
The Breathe Easy Systems with a volume flow of up to 8,000 cubic metres per hour, the M-8 air filter ensures a continuous supply of freshly cleaned air. The unit can clean an area of more than 500 square metres virus-free at an air exchange rate of six and a room height of 2.50 metres.
Effective air purification is the key to minimising the risk of infection with virus-containing aerosols indoors, as has been demonstrated in numerous studies. In premises where permanently installed ventilation and air-conditioning systems are lacking or provide only insufficient air quality, professional mobile air purifiers are a good solution.

Several City Air Cleaners work in combination to form a modular, scalable system for active management of urban air quality. Simulations of the real environment are used to determine an effective tailor-made air filter solution - for emission hotspots and constructionally and meteorologically caused accumulation points for pollutants. The large infoscreens on the sides of the City Air Cleaners allow for local air quality infotainment as well as local traffic and event information or third-party advertising. The City Air Cleaner is universally applicable. There are different models for tailor-made air cleaning solutions:
At a glance
Effective
Proven filtering of pollutants such as fine dusts, viruses and bacteria from the drawn-in air. |
Modular
Multi-stage filter system for flexible adaptation
of filter media to specific local air contamination scenarios. |
Efficient
Ideal ratio of cleaning performance to power consumption, operating, and maintenance costs. |
Mobile
Flexible and easy set up without foundation and ready for operation at short notice. |
Intelligent
Demand-oriented control of the system with monitoring of the operating performance for preventive maintenance. |
Low noise
Demand-driven operation under consideration of the local pollution and noise levels. |
City Air Cleaners help to reduce elevated pollutant concentrations locally in the short term and reduce further spread. At the same time, they ensure that filtered air is supplied to endangered immission locations.
The City Air Cleaner represents an innovative solution for the effective technical cleaning of air volumes contaminated with pollutants for defined zones in urban environments. When designing the filter technology and air duct, we rely on best-in-class technology from internationally renowned filter and ventilation manufacturers.
Effective air purification
Machine creates local breathing zones with high air quality through the use of HEPA filters and active guidance of the air flows through the roof construction. The special feature of our air filters is the supply of purified air from above, analogous to the airflow in an aircraft. This vertical air flow supports the natural process of sedimentation of airborne particles.

Achieves the best air quality management effect directly at the point of emission. On a busy road, the device can extract the fine dusts and nitrogen oxides emitted by the vehicles directly at the source and filter them out of the air stream. This prevents the harmful pollutants from spreading into the environment.
The cleaned air is slowed down and released on the other side of the City Air Cleaner. The constant flow of freshly cleaned air improves the ambient air on the pavement by displacing the existing polluted air immediately behind the city air cleaner. At the same time it dilutes the prevailing pollutant concentration in the ambient air on the outlet side.
For effective absorption of pollutants on a busy road, City Air Cleaners are ideally placed on both sides of the road.
There are three different areas of application in which City Air Cleaners can make an active contribution to air quality management:
